In practice, this ratio is even lower than what is shown hy the stoichiometric equation because part of the methane is oxidized to carhon dioxide and water. When resids are partially oxidized hy oxygen and steam at 1400-1450°C and 55-60 atmospheres, the gas consists of equal parts of hydrogen and carhon monoxide. Table 4-2 compares products from steam reforming natural gas with products from partial oxidation of heavy fuel oil. 

Hydrogen production from fossil fuels is based on steam reforming of natural gas, thermal cracking of natmal gas, partial oxidation of heavier than naphtha... 

Hydrogen production from carbonaceous feedstocks requires multiple catalytic reaction steps For the production of high-purity hydrogen, the reforming of fuels is followed by two water-gas shift reaction steps, a final carbon monoxide purification and carbon dioxide removal. Steam reforming, partial oxidation and autothermal reforming of methane are well-developed processes for the production of hydro-... 

General Atomics is developing Supercritical Water Partial Oxidation (SWPO) for the efficient and environmentally advantageous gasification of and hydrogen production from low-grade fuels such as biomass, municipal/solid waste (MSW) and high-sulfur coal.
